Description
John Bigelow and Matias Romero were American and Mexican diplomats in the 1870’s and 1880’s. Bigelow had visited Mexico and reported critically on the liberal terms given to and the myriad of railroad companies developing in Mexico. Romero’s response, included in this pamphlet, points out that Mexico is being unfairly criticized by an individual whose own nation did the same thing to its earliest railroads, and most of these new railroads were being built by American investors.
